@@@@@ Bank, @@@@@ paypal, @@@@EBay.

Just recieved a non payment strike on flea bay.

The Fxxxking bank (HSBC) has "disputed" the direct debit request from Pay pal, and refused the transfer.

As I am dealing with an EBay Nazi they have promptly hit me with Negative feed back(my only) and a failure to pay strike!!

When I just posted people a fri@@ing cheque it just worked, it was easy, I had 100% feedback!!!!! But paypal is easy, its secure, its modern.


Its blast$$ $h1te!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for the HSbuggering Cnuts, I suppose somebody has to make the government look good.

And Breathe.
Thank you for listening, beer calling.

See if the seller will withdraw the feedback??? I once had a buyer who left negative feedback with a positive comment I went nuts

I had someone who didn't pay or contact me, I had to wait a week before I could do anything about going down the route of a non payment strike when it was all sorted I left neg feedback for him and only then did he make contact, by leaving neg feedback for me, Ebay removed that feedback with an explanation saying he had the strike.

If it's under a week you could more than likely contact ebay and explain what happened.

If he doesn't you could always add a response to the feedback saying it was bank trouble and you're not a bad payer.

I just pay for ebay stuff through Paypal using a credit card, or if possible cash on collection, because you dont get ripped off that way. This especially goes for dive gear.

I tend to also buy, only within 100 miles of my current location. But if im likely to be somewhere else on a diving trip i might consider further afield.

But i wouldnt trust paypal with my bank details, there are enough horror stories online regarding money disappearing from peoples bank accounts for me to not want to use that route. Pay by plastic, and get the guarantees, or pay by cash in person and then you know where they live if they leave you negative feedback (which tends not to happen for that reason).

Eyup James,
Every sympathy with you mate, I was ripped off by PayPal last year, even when I pointed out that fraud was taking place!! by unscrupulous persons buying from me.
There was also evidence by others who had been ripped off also. The old trick of paying by PayPal,receiving goods, and then withdrawing payment. PayPal were given all the evidence and took 2 months to decide that they couldn't do anything and advised civil claim. No support, no claimback as stated in their pre-amble when joining!! absolute rubbish. I only pay by cheque or cash, and accept accordingly. I have stopped my PayPal account. Pity others don't do the same, it would serve them right!!
Regards, Diverdave.
